    For a random dude on RUclips that popped up on my feed. I loved this video. Thanks for being genuine and expressing your love for Sony. I currently have been enjoying my PS portal since mid-2024 and it's pretty much brought me back into single player gaming and less "competitive". FPS games. I'm becoming a true gamer again and I'm loving every moment of it. 🙏🏾

    As a teacher, bro I want nothing to do with my PC after work. I have to be in the mood to turn that thing on. I'm mostly on my switch, steam deck or PS5 pro.

      Dude I'm torn on the steam deck, I heard it's chill AF. that or the ROG Ally. My only issue with the ps portal is it's dependent on good internet etc. I imagine those other handhelds work offline for some games?

      Hey man! Just wanted to share a perspective from someone who's basically had every console and handheld under the sun (some returned, some sold, because... well, tech addiction is real). With the new year, I made a big decision-to trim down the number of platforms I game on. As someone who sits at a desk 8-10 hours a day as an analyst, I love PC gaming, but sometimes I need that break from the whole keyboard-and-mouse life. --> therefore, i use an xbox controller whenever i play on pc.
      So, my journey: Started with a base PS5 → upgraded to a PS5 Pro → realized it wasn’t adding much value for me → returned it and decided to break free from just one ecosystem. Instead, I took the full refund from the PS5 Pro and grabbed an Ally X (also have a Steam Deck) and an Xbox Series X (white digital). One thing that I feel gets slept on when talking about Xbox is the "Play Anywhere" feature-buy a game once and play it on both console and PC. Sure, the supported list isn’t endless, but it keeps expanding and will continue to do so, and it’s a game-changer for me.
      So yeah, I actually cut PlayStation out of my setup completely. Installed Bazzite (SteamOS) on my Ally X, and it’s been incredible-getting that Steam Deck OS experience but with the Ally X’s power. (Still kept a Windows partition for Game Pass, of course).
      As for the Portal… had it, hated it. My personal take. I just love the freedom of playing handhelds offline and tweaking things to get the best of both worlds. Bazzite on the Ally X? Chef’s kiss.
      Now, just deciding what to do with my Deck OLED… but for now, the Ally X is winning!
      Apologize for the long post!

      ​@@MinimalisTechbasically the 5pro is best choice in console standard's if you don't want to play with a pc the steam deck is overrated.
      The steam console maybe will produce an impact in the whole industry when and if release.

      I was about to comment then came across this. This is exactly me. For me these devices are easy to just pick and get straight to where I left off. When you have limited time PC just has too much start up friction for me.
      The handhelds @Sonchance have I also do. They are decent offline. The deck can run ok AAA titles but need tinkering settings wise. I completed Black Myth on it.

    I also own a high-performance PC and PS5. I have to admit that although the PC has a higher image fidelity and is much more versatile, there are times when the pleasant experience of sitting with the controller in hand on the couch is unmatched. I could easily live with only a PS5 for gaming and a modest laptop for the rest. A wonderful day!

I do absolutely adore my ps5 for what it’s worth it gave me the joy and excitement I was missing for years. 😊

    Agreed,
    I'm a studio engineer so I sit by the computer all day. I got into PC gaming back when the 2080 was hot... I used it 5 times but I always returned to my PS4 pro or PS5 pro because of ease of use.
    I would also add that I strongly suggest you get the PS5 pro if you got a tv above 55". We upgraded to a 75" 2024 hdmi 2.1 tv and suddenly the PS5 looked really soft, so we upgraded.
    The PS5 pro, because it pushes out more games in higher fidelity looks way better on our new tv, I also prefer RGB HDR that only Hdmi 2.1 supports.
    Anyway, great video!

    I started out with an Atari VCS in the early 1980s but later migrated to Atari 8-bit computers and then the PC in the early 1990s. Over the years, I have primarily been a PC gamer more so than a console gamer but in recent years have mostly been gaming on console. I do still have a gaming PC but have a PS5 slim and Series X in the living room hooked up to my TV, and the Series S and gaming PC hooked up to my monitor in the spare room. I enjoy each experience. I agree, console wars or console versus PC is ridiculous, just enjoy the games! That's what matters.

    My consoles only get used for exclusives now. With paid online, lack of control over the experience, and typically more expensive games, I just can't justify using them that often. Not to mention literally every game being upscaled, with some sitting at a locked 30fps. And a $700 PS5 Pro just to play my games WORSE than my PC can?
    I'll just run a longer HDMI cable from my PC to my TV and launch Steam in big picture. In this economy, there is no way to convince myself to keep mainly console gaming.
